Muscat of Spinas Aori

100% Muscat of Spinas from century-old bush vines on black schist at 750–850m • Fermented and aged in stainless steel and ceramic Clayver vessels •  12% ABV • 4000 bottles produced • Bone-dry, saline, and mineral, with floral lift and structured acidity—nothing like typical Muscat. (Muscat of Spina is a clone of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, found in the village of Spina.  While typically known for its intense, aromatic profile, Aori produces a style that will change your perception of the varietal.)

"The Aori 2024 Muscat of Spina reflects the challenging dry conditions of the vintage, showing a more evolved and textured profile than the 2025 release. Aromas of honey, toasted nuts and crème brûlee emerge alongside the variety's floral character, while the palate is broader and richer in feel. The wine sacrifices some of the vibrant acidity and precision seen in cooler years. A subtle stony character runs through the wine, reminding me of the rugged mountain vineyards from which it originates."
